Little America: Kein Ort zum Leben

SINOPSIS

Marie learns from Amy that George did not abandon her, but was arrested on the way to the train station. Marie confronts Erika, who swears on the Bible that George is the rapist. Marie does not give up and learns from his comrades Moses and Theo what happened that evening in the bar with Erika and the three soldiers. She persuades Moses to make a statement against the real perpetrators, whereupon he is brutally beaten. Schwietes vengeance procession has achieved the desired attention - he can now finally turn his back on Kaltenstein. Vinzenz and Martha are now taking over his Hawaii bar. The Strumm family's business is now run by Erika and Siegfried. Father Friedrich is completely discredited after an outburst in front of the bar. His last official act is the laying of the foundation stone for the military clinic on the former field of the Kastner family. Meanwhile, the black soldiers protest against George's imprisonment with a peaceful protest on the base, whereupon Colonel McCoy overhears him in his cell. And he can't believe his ears when he learns that his wife Amy wanted to help George and Marie escape to East Germany. The tide turns for Marie too when Erika describes the incident in detail - how George lured her to the pond after Marie dumped him. In the McCoy house there is a big argument that tears open unspoken marital conflicts and old wounds. McCoy fears she will be charged with high treason. Marie now doubts George's innocence - only when she manages to visit him in the cell and looks into his eyes does she know: He didn't do it. Now she is ready to do anything to free George.
